Here is the honest situation. BIPA is the most litigated biometric privacy law in the country. It requires a public written retention and destruction policy, informed written consent before you collect a fingerprint or faceprint, a ban on selling biometric data, strict disclosure limits and timely destruction. The teeth are the private right of action: statutory damages of 1,000 dollars per negligent violation and 5,000 dollars per intentional one, no actual harm required, and courts have counted every scan. One missing consent form multiplied across a workforce is a class action.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is every BIPA obligation written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the records that prove compliance if you are ever challenged.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in Illinois BIPA, 740 ILCS 14, Sections 15 and 20, with the written-release, profit-ban and destruction duties and the statutory-damages exposure called out, and the 2024 amendment reflected. Editable Word and Excel files.
What one control looks like
This is the public written retention and destruction policy, the first thing a plaintiff checks. All 30 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. BIPA cases are won and lost on records. This tells you exactly the documents that defend you and where the lawsuits land, for every obligation.
- Damages are per violation. 1,000 dollars negligent, 5,000 dollars intentional, no harm required, counted per scan. The Kit is built to close the multipliers before they compound.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It reflects current law. The 2024 amendment on electronic signatures and single-violation limits is written in, not an old reading of the statute.
Who buys this
Any employer or business collecting fingerprints, faceprints or other biometrics from Illinois residents, the privacy, legal and HR leads who own it, and counsel advising on exposure. Whether you are getting ahead of risk or responding to a demand letter, you save weeks and walk in with the policy, consent and records ready.
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Is this legal advice? No. It is an implementation toolkit grounded in the statute and case law. For a specific matter, consult counsel; this gets your policy, consent and records in order fast.
Does it cover the written release? Yes. Informed written consent is its own control group, because a missing release is the single most common basis for a claim.
Does it reflect the 2024 amendment? Yes. The electronic-signature release and single-violation limitation are written in.
